PR:BF2 over LAN

[Daoud]

Was wondering if I could play with my bro over a lan connection seeing as how neither of us are 18, and therefore not allowed to obtain a server license. Via Co-op matches I would presume.

Why don't you play on multiplayer servers with everyone else? You only need a server licence if you want to host an actual server.

I can, though I wish to practice my brother, because my Flying skills make a me a very less than reputable character if ya know what I mean .

There are Coop servers on which you and your brother can both join and practice.
=RW= have a coop training server that's good for training, and with instant spawn of vehicles.

Alright, thanks for the responses .

You could go on empty co-op server with your brother if you want to be alone.

You can use a programme such as Hamachi, others available, to create a virtual LAN. This will allow you to play co-op on your PC and have others connect.

For VOIP either use a host, such as teamspeak, if you have access or use Skype.

As Strima said, use Hamachi. Simply connect to the same network, and set up a local server. The person who's not the host connects to the IP showed on Hamachi.

If you already are on LAN then there is no reason to use Hamachi as all that dose it create a fake LAN over the internet. Using it would just result in worse pings, as the connection would go over your LAN, to your router, though the internet, bounce off a server and back to your LAN to another system on it, rather than going directly to that PC its trying to go to over the LAN. Its kinda like taking a trip from London to Reading and taking a detour to Scotland just for the scenery... And for thous of you who do not know the UK here is a map to show it
